Before The Beatles, Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones, before Woodstock and Monterey Pop, there was...... Jazz on a Summer’s Day Friday, July 4, 2008 Screening: 2pm, 4pm, 6pm & 8:30pm New color print! A Q&A with director Bert Stern and George Wein, jazz impresario and founder of the Newport Jazz Festival, will follow the 6:00 p.m. screening. “As generous a dish of top jazz music as any cat could take in one gulp....The photography is terrific. Mr. Stern and his lens-clicking crew have a bulging assembly of color pictures that should make any camera addict simply drool.” — The New York Times “One of the most exciting jazz concerts ever recorded, a dazzling delight in glorious color.” — Judith Crist "Jazz on a Summer's Day proved that a concert could be cinematic, opening the door to Gimme Shelter, The Last Waltz, and so much more." - David Yaffe, New York Magazine Bert Stern stood at the forefront of New York’s photographic elite 50 years ago when he picked up a movie camera, traveled to the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival, and turned the extraordinary footage he captured there into Jazz on a Summer’s Day. The originator of so much of what was to come for music and concerts onscreen, Jazz showcases some of music’s most influential pioneers in spine-tingling performances: Louis Armstrong, Mahalia Jackson, Chuck Berry, Thelonious Monk, Gerry Mulligan, Anita O’Day and Chico Hamilton, among many others. Stern’s still images have long since become the stuff of art anthologies and gallery exhibitions, and his first and unfortunately only foray into moviemaking remains a classic to which few musical festival documentaries compare.
